Tag Archives: death toll in 2015 up 62 percent

It’s getting deadly out there

I already knew the traffic on Austin streets was intolerable. I suspected more than the usual number of people were dying in crashes or being run down. I didn’t realize how bad it was–102 dead in 93 wrecks last year. Up 62 percent from 2014.

Or that 34 percent of drivers in those 93 crashes either had suspended licenses or never had one to begin with. Gee, I wonder who they could be. Wink, wink.
